CVE-2018-11863

CVE ID CVE-2018-11863
Title Potential buffer overflow in wma_fill_roam_synch_buffer
Description In wma_fill_roam_synch_buffer, fils_info is received from the FW as part of roam synch event and contains kek_len and pmk_len. These lengths are used to copy the kek and pmk from the FW buffer to the roam_synch_ind_ptr (of kek length SIR_KEK_KEY_LEN_FILS and pmk length SIR_PMK_LEN) respectively.

If the kek_len exceeds the SIR_KEK_KEY_LEN_FILS or pmk_len exceeds the SIR_PMK_LEN value, a buffer overwrite would occur during memcpy.

Industry Coordination

Security ratings of issues included in Android security
bulletins and these bulletins match in the most common scenarios but may
differ in some cases due to one of the following reasons:

  • Consideration of security protections such as SELinux not enforced on some platforms
  • Differences in assessment of some specific
    scenarios that involves local denial of service or privilege escalation
    vulnerabilities in the high level OS kernel
